Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

Brazil’s financial-services tax rates are scheduled at 10.85% in 2027 and 2028 and 12.50% in 2033; Nu says the impact remains under assessment.

Form 6-K is a foreign private issuer’s interim report for material information published in its home market. In these statements, Nu reports an expected-credit-loss allowance of US$132,822 thousand on other receivables tied to card receivables acquired from payment institutions placed under extrajudicial liquidation. Nu stopped acquiring these receivables in August 2026, but outstanding balances remain.

The filing sets combined IBS and CBS rates for financial services at 10.85% in 2027 and 2028, rising to 12.50% in 2033; Nu says the potential effects are under assessment.

expected credit loss financial
"recognizes the expected credit losses on credit card receivables"
Expected credit loss is an estimate lenders make of the amount of loans or receivables they are likely not to collect, calculated ahead of actual defaults. Think of it like setting aside money for groceries that will spoil before you can use them: it reduces reported profit and the value of loan assets today. Investors watch this figure because rising expected losses signal weakening borrower quality, greater future write‑downs and higher capital needs.
coverage ratio financial
"the amount that the expected credit loss represents in comparison"
Stage 3 financial
"Expected credit loss - by stages"
fair value through other comprehensive income financial
"Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income"
An accounting classification for certain financial assets where changes in market value are recorded at current market prices, but unrealized gains and losses are sent to a separate equity “holding” area called other comprehensive income instead of appearing in reported profit or loss. Think of it like marking a painting to its gallery price and placing the paper gains in a locked box until the painting is sold; this reduces headline profit volatility but still affects the company’s net worth, so investors watch it to judge true economic exposure and future earnings when assets are sold.
non-deliverable forwards technical
"foreign currency exchange rate contracts – Non-deliverable forwards"
Non-Deliverable Forwards are agreements to buy or sell a currency at a set price in the future, but without the actual exchange of the currency itself. Instead, the difference in value is paid in cash. They are often used by companies or investors to manage currency risk when physical delivery isn’t practical or allowed.
preliminary conditional approval regulatory
"received preliminary conditional approval on January 29, 2026"

Independent Auditors’ report on review of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Cayman Islands

 

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Nu Holdings Ltd. (“Company”) as at September 30, 2026, the interim condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods then ended, and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, and notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, ´Interim Financial Reporting´. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2026, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

Nu Holdings Ltd.
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

1. OPERATIONS

Nu Holdings Ltd. ("Company" or "Nu Holdings") was incorporated as an exempted Company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on February 26, 2016. The address of the Company's registered office is Willow House, 4th floor, Cricket Square, Grand Cayman - Cayman Islands. Nu Holdings has no operating activities with customers. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as the “Group” or "Nu”.

The Company’s shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol “NU”. The Company holds investments in several operating entities and, as of September 30, 2026, its significant operating subsidiaries were:

•Nu Pagamentos S.A. - Instituição de Pagamento (“Nu Pagamentos”) is an indirect subsidiary domiciled in Brazil. Nu Pagamentos is engaged in the issuance and administration of credit cards, payment transfers through a prepaid account, and participation in other companies as a partner or shareholder. Its main products include a Mastercard international credit card, managed via a smartphone app, and the NuAccount, a 100% digital, maintenance-free prepaid account accessed through a smartphone app, which also includes features of a traditional bank account, such as PIX (electronic transfers), bill payments, and ATM withdrawals.
•Nu Financeira S.A. – SCFI (“Nu Financeira”) is an indirect subsidiary domiciled in Brazil, with personal loans and retail deposits as its main products. It offers customizable loans with transparent terms and conditions managed via a smartphone app, allowing 24/7 issuance, repayment, and prepayments through NuAccount. Additionally, Nu Financeira issues Bank Deposit Receipts (RDB) to NuAccount holders with daily liquidity and a defined maturity date, and provides credit to Nu Pagamentos credit card holders for overdue invoices and revolving credit.

Also, Nubank Mexico provides customers in Mexico with the opportunity to obtain loans.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026

  

Nu’s business plan provides for the continued growth of operations in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia and the development of its operations in the United States and other markets through Nu Global (“Nu Global AG” or “Nu Global”), a new multi-currency digital account, both through the expansion of its existing product lines, including credit card, personal loans, investments, and insurance, as well as the introduction of new products. The business plan also contemplates the potential further international expansion into new geographies as part of the Group's long-term growth strategy. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption of the Group continuing as a going concern.

On September 10, 2026, Nu commenced operations in the United States, through Nu United States LLC (“Nu United States”), with the launch of a suite of financial products. In the United States, Nu is partnering with FDIC-insured Lead Bank to provide deposit accounts, together with domestic and international money transfers and a credit card. The Company applied for a national bank charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) in 2025 and received preliminary conditional approval on January 29, 2026. Once the OCC's conditions are satisfied and final approval is granted, the national bank charter will enable Nu to operate under a comprehensive federal regulatory framework and facilitate the offering of a full range of financial products and services. Separately, on September 10, Nu announced Nu Global.

On July 20, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of Banco Porto Real de Investimentos S.A. (“Porto Real”). Closing is subject to approval by the Central Bank of Brazil (“BACEN”). Upon closing, the license will be incorporated into the prudential conglomerate of Nu Pagamentos.

The Company’s Board authorized the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements on November 12, 2026.

Seasonality

The Company’s business is affected by customer behavior throughout the year and demonstrates seasonality effects. Historically, Nu benefits from higher purchase volume and related revenue in the fourth quarter of the year due to the holiday season. However, Nu’s high historical growth has masked this seasonality in the past, and this may become more pronounced in the future. As a result of seasonality fluctuations caused by these and other factors, comparisons of the results of operations across different periods may not be accurate indicators of future performance. As the Company diversifies its business across product lines, seasonality may be reduced.

1.1. Brazilian Consumption Tax Reform

Complementary Law No. 214/2025, as amended by Complementary Law No. 227/2026, regulates Constitutional Amendment No. 132/2023 and establishes the Tax on Goods and Services (“IBS”), the Social Contribution on Goods and Services (“CBS”) and the Selective Tax (“IS”). Together, these taxes will gradually replace Social Integration Program contribution (“PIS/Pasep”), the Social Security Financing Contribution (“Cofins”), Tax on Goods and Services (“ICMS”), and the Municipal Services Tax (“ISS”). CBS replaces PIS/Pasep and Cofins as of January 1, 2027, while IBS gradually replaces ICMS and ISS between 2029 and 2032, with the new model fully in place in 2033. 2026 is essentially the initial implementation and testing year for IBS and CBS, with specific transitional rules.

Financial services are subject to a specific regime. Under article 233 of Complementary Law No. 214/2025, as amended by Complementary Law No. 227/2026, the combined IBS and CBS rate on these services is set at 10.85% in 2027 and 2028, 11.00% in 2029, 11.15% in 2030, 11.30% in 2031, 11.50% in 2032 and 12.50% in 2033. The potential impacts arising from the implementation of the new tax system are currently under assessment.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards – Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). However, selected condensed explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to understanding the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the issuance of its last annual financial statements.

The Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Financial Statements”).

a) Functional currency and foreign currency translation

i) Nu Holdings’ functional and presentation currency

Nu Holdings does not have any direct customers, and its main direct activities are (i) investing in the operating entities in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, as well as in other countries, (ii) financing, either equity or debt, and (iii) the payment of certain general and administrative expenses. As a result, these are considered its primary and secondary activities, and all of them are substantially based in U.S. dollars (“US$”), which was selected as the functional and presentation currency of Nu Holdings.

ii) Subsidiaries functional currency

For each subsidiary of the Group, the Company determines the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity (“functional currency”). Items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. The functional currency of the Brazilian operating entities is the Brazilian real, of the Mexican entities the Mexican peso, of the Colombian entity the Colombian peso, and of the entities in the United States and Switzerland (Nu Global) the U.S. dollar.

iii) Translation of transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions and balances are translated in two consecutive stages:

•Foreign currency transactions are translated to the subsidiaries’ functional currency at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions; and the exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign currency balances to the functional currency are recognized under “Other expenses” or “Other income” in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Revenues and expenses are translated using a monthly average exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Nu Holdings Ltd.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026

  
•The financial statements of the subsidiaries held in functional currencies that are not US$ (foreign subsidiaries) are translated into US$, and the exchange differences arising from the translation to US$ of the financial statements denominated in functional currencies other than the US$ are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income ("OCI") as an item that may be reclassified to profit or loss within “currency translation on foreign entities”.

The main criteria applied to the translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries to US$ are as follows:

•Assets and liabilities are converted into US$ at the exchange rate at the reporting date;
•Equity is translated into US$ at historical cost;
•Revenues and expenses are translated using a monthly average exchange rate; and
•Statements of cash flows items are translated into US$ using the average exchange rate for the reporting period.

b) New or revised accounting pronouncements and relevant matters adopted in 2026

The following new or revised accounting standards issued by IASB were effective for the period covered by these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and had no significant impact.

•Classification and measurement of financial instruments (Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9).
•Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards (Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7).

c) Other new or revised accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective

(i) Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18):

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ in response to investors’ concerns about comparability and transparency of entities’ performance reporting.

IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and will replace IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’. There are also consequential amendments to IAS 7 ‘Cash Flows’, IAS 8 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, IAS 33 ‘Earnings per Share’ and IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, also effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

The new standard introduces new requirements for the presentation, classification and disclosure of financial statement line items. The key changes include the requirement to classify all income and expense into one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, taxation and discontinued operations), and introduces new mandatory subtotals within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, including Operating profit, Profit before financing and income tax and Profit for the period. In addition, details of management-defined performance measures (“MPMs”) will now be disclosed as well as further detailed disclosure related to operating expense by nature. The new standard also offers enhanced guidance on aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.

Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact, other than additional disclosures, on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026

  

(ii) IFRS 20 - Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities:

IFRS 20 establishes requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of regulatory assets, regulatory liabilities, regulatory income and regulatory expense. The standard applies to entities subject to a specific type of rate regulation - arrangements under which a regulator controls the rates (prices) an entity charges customers for goods or services, including when those rates include compensation for goods or services supplied in a prior period and/or the timing of the allowed compensation differs from the period of supply. IFRS 20 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029.

Management does not expect IFRS 20 to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

3. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounting balances of Nu Holdings and all those subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control, directly or indirectly. Control is achieved where the Company has (i) power over the investee; (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) can use its power to affect its profits.

The Company re-assesses whether it maintains control of an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three above mentioned elements of control.

The consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over it and ceases when the Company loses control over it. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the reporting period are included in the consolidated statements of income from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

The financial information of the subsidiaries was prepared for the same period as the Company and consistent accounting policies were applied. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are fully consolidated with those of the Company. Accordingly, all balances, transactions and any unrealized income and expenses arising between consolidated entities are eliminated in the consolidation, except for foreign-currency gains and losses on translation of intercompany loans. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the shareholders of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, when applicable.

The interests held by other investors in these entities are presented as non-controlling interests in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Nu Pagamentos, Nu Financeira, and Nu Investimentos, Brazilian subsidiaries, are regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil (“BACEN”); Nubank Mexico, a Mexican subsidiary, is regulated by the Mexican Central Bank ("BANXICO"), Mexican National Banking and Stock Commission (“CNBV”), Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (“SHCP”), National Commission for the Protection and Defense of Financial Services Users (“CONDUSEF”) and Institute for the Protection of Bank Savings (“IPAB”); Nu Colombia, a Colombian subsidiary, is regulated by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia ("SFC"); and as such, there are some regulatory requirements that restrict the ability of the Group to access and transfer assets freely to or from these entities within the Group and to settle liabilities of the other entities of the Group.

In addition, the Company consolidated investment funds as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, in which the Group’s companies hold a substantial interest or the entirety of the interests and are therefore exposed, or have rights, to variable returns and, have the ability to affect those returns through power over the funds. As of September 30, 2026, the non-controlling interests portion relating to investment fund quotas is disclosed as “Obligations for quotas of investment funds” in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

4. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements and therefore should be read in conjunction.

In addition to those accounting policies, in 2026, the Group adopted a new accounting policy related to the hedge of net investments in foreign operations, as described below.

Hedge of net investment in foreign operations: The Group adopted and designated certain derivatives as hedges of net investment in foreign operations, more specifically to hedge its operations in Brazilian reais. Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for in a similar way to cash flow hedges. The effective portion of gains and losses on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statements of income. Gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statements of income on the disposal, or partial disposal, of the foreign operation.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS,
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements requires judgments, estimates, and assumptions from management that affect the application of accounting policies, and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to the estimates are recognized prospectively.

The significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were the same as those adopted in the Annual Financial Statements.

a)Credit losses on financial instruments for credit card receivables
and loans to customers

The Group recognizes the expected credit losses (“ECL”) on credit card receivables and loans to customers that represent management’s best estimate of allowance as of each reporting date.

Management performs an analysis of the credit card and loan amounts to determine if credit losses have occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance based on historical and current trends as well as other factors affecting credit losses.

Key areas of judgment

The critical judgments made by management in applying the ECL methodology are:

a)The macroeconomic information used to gauge the determination of the probability weights to be given in the different macroeconomic scenarios and the respective weights;
b)Definition of default;
c)Definition of significant increase in credit risk and credit card lifetime; and
d)Look-back period, used for parameter estimation (probability of default - PD, exposure at default - EAD and loss given default - LGD).

Sensitivity analysis

On September 30, 2026, the ECL for credit card receivables and loans to customers totaled US$7,086,819, of which US$4,884,428 related to credit card receivables and US$2,202,391 to loans to customers. The ECL is sensitive to the methodology, assumptions and estimations underlying its calculation. One key assumption is the probability weighting of the macroeconomic scenarios between upside, base and downside as the carrying amount of the expected credit loss is determined based on the weighted average of these scenarios. Such weightings reflect management's assessment of current macroeconomic conditions and expectations for the future economic environment in each of the geographies the Group operates. The table below illustrates the ECL based on the weighted average of these three macroeconomic scenarios and the ECL that would have arisen if management had applied a 100% weighting to each macroeconomic scenario.

    Weighted average   Upside   Base case   Downside
                 
Credit card and loan ECL   7,086,819   6,644,210   6,996,405   7,621,627

Antidilutive instruments not considered in the weighted number of shares (in thousands of shares) 8,515   10,269   21,526   15,130

The Company has instruments that will become common shares upon exercise, acquisition, conversion (Stock Options – “SOPs” and Restricted Stock Units – “RSUs” described in note 10), or satisfaction of specific business combination conditions. The effects of the potentially dilutive instruments were calculated using the treasury stock method and are included in the total weighted average of ordinary outstanding shares for diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) if the effects are considered dilutive. The antidilutive instruments not considered in the weighted number of shares correspond to the total number of shares that could be converted into ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of those instruments. Instruments are considered antidilutive if the average market value of ordinary shares during the period is less than the average value of the assumed proceeds (fair value of services that will be recognized as a cost in future periods plus exercise price multiplied by the number of options and shares to be issued on exercise of the options).

Treasury shares acquired under the share repurchase program are excluded from the weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of earnings per share.

10. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Share-settled awards

The Group’s employee incentives include share settled awards in the form of stock, offering them the opportunity to purchase ordinary shares by exercising options (“SOPs”), receiving ordinary shares (“RSUs”) upon vesting, and receiving shares upon the achievement of market conditions and passage of time ("Awards").

The cost of the employee services received with respect to those share-based compensation payments is recognized in the statements of income over the period that the employee provides services and according to the vesting conditions. The Group also issued Awards in 2020 that granted shares upon the achievement of market conditions related to the valuation of the Company. RSUs incentive was implemented in 2020 and continues to be the main incentive since then.

The terms and conditions of the RSU plans require the Group to withhold shares from the settlement to its employees to settle the employee’s tax obligation. Accordingly, the Group settles the transaction on a net basis by withholding the number of shares with a fair value equal to the monetary value of the employee’s tax obligation and issues the remaining shares to the employee on the vesting date. The employee’s tax obligation associated with the RSUs is calculated substantially based on the expected employee's personal tax rate and the fair value of the shares on the vesting date. In addition, for the countries where the Group is required to pay taxes and social security taxes over vested RSUs, the Group recognizes expenses related to corporate and social security taxes on the applicable awards, calculated mainly by applying the tax rates to the fair value of the ordinary shares at the reporting dates, and presents them as "Share-based compensation" within "Customer support and operations", "General and administrative expenses" and "Marketing expenses" in the consolidated statements of income.

In 2026, the Group granted a new stock option plan to specific members of the management team. The terms and conditions are similar to those disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements, except for: (i) the vesting schedule under the new SOP plan is quarterly, (ii) the exercise price was set at US$12.30, and (iii) the new plan follows a different vesting pattern, whereby a larger portion of the expense is recognized in the earlier years of the vesting period of 5 years, with progressively smaller amounts recognized in the final years.

There were no changes to the terms and conditions of the SOPs and RSUs after the grant date. The changes in the number of SOPs and RSUs are as follows. WAEP is the weighted average exercise price and WAGDFV is the weighted average fair value at the grant date.

b) Expected credit loss - by stages

As of September 30, 2026, the credit card ECL totaled US$4,884,428 (US$3,528,001 as of December 31, 2025). The provision is estimated using consistently applied modeling techniques and is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.

The amount that the expected credit loss represents in comparison to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases. This metric is considered a key risk indicator; it is monitored across multiple committees to support the decision-making process and is discussed in the Group's credit forums.

The explanation of each stage is set out in the Company’s accounting policies, as disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

b) Expected credit loss - by stages

As of September 30, 2026, the loans to customers ECL totaled US$2,202,391 (US$1,493,995 as of December 31, 2025). The provision is estimated using consistently applied modeling techniques and is sensitive to the methods, assumptions, and risk parameters underlying its calculation.

The amount that the expected credit loss represents in comparison to the Group’s gross receivables (the coverage ratio) is also monitored to anticipate trends that could indicate credit risk increases. This metric is considered a key risk indicator; it is monitored across multiple committees to support the decision-making process and is discussed in the Group's credit forums.

The explanation of each stage is set out in the Company's accounting policies, as disclosed in the Annual Financial Statements.

Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating units ("CGUs") expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations from which it arose. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment, and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The CGU allocation and the valuation methodology and key assumptions used in the annual impairment test were described in the Annual Financial Statements.

The annual impairment test performed as of December 31, 2025 concluded that the recoverable amount of each CGU to which goodwill has been allocated exceeded its carrying amount, and no impairment loss was identified.

As of September 30, 2026, management assessed whether events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Based on these assessments, management concluded that there were no indicators of impairment and, accordingly no interim impairment test was performed and no impairment loss was recognized.

20. DERIVATIVES

The Group executes transactions with derivative financial instruments, which are intended, in their majority, to meet its own needs to reduce its exposure to market, currency and interest-rate risks. These instruments include, among others, Non-Deliverable Forwards (“NDFs”), options, swaps, and futures.

The derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those designated in cash flow and net investment hedge strategies, for which the effective portion of gains or losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. For derivatives designated in fair value hedge strategies, changes in the fair value of both the hedging instrument and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the statements of income. The fair value hierarchy is described in note 29. These risks are managed through the establishment of limits and operating strategies.

The Group applies the following hedge accounting relationships:

Fair value hedge: Hedges the interest rate risk of certain government bonds, converting fixed-rate returns into floating rates through interest rate derivatives.

Cash flow hedge: Hedges the foreign currency risk arising from forecast transactions related to cloud infrastructure, intercompany transactions and certain software licenses and hedges future cash disbursements related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes arising from RSU vesting.

Net investment hedge: Hedges the foreign currency risk arising from a designated portion of the Group's net investment in its Brazilian operations.

Derivative instruments are presented within Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the statements of financial position. The hedged items in the fair value hedge of interest rate risk are presented within Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and Financial assets at amortized cost (note 12).

Hedge ineffectiveness and gains and losses on derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized within Interest income and gains net of losses – financial instruments at fair value (note 6).

The effective portion of cash flow hedges is recognized within the cash flow hedge reserve, and the effective portion of the net investment hedge is recognized within the net investment hedge reserve, both presented in the statements of changes in equity. Reclassifications from the cash flow and net investment hedge reserve are presented in the line items disclosed in the tables below.

For foreign currency exchange rate contracts designated as cash flow hedges of foreign currency expenses and non-deliverable forwards designated as net investment hedges, hedging instruments are rolled over monthly and, accordingly, a weighted-average forward rate is not considered representative of the economic exposure.

Designated as cash flow hedge

a) Hedge of foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk on forecast transaction expenses, related to the cloud infrastructure, certain software licenses, and intercompany expenses. The Group manages its exposure to the variability in cash flows of foreign currency forecasted transactions to movements in foreign exchange rates by entering into foreign currency exchange rate contracts (exchange futures). These instruments are entered into to match the cash flow profile of the estimated forecast transactions and are exchange-traded with fair value movements settled on a daily basis.

The Group applies hedge accounting to the forecasted transactions related to its main cloud infrastructure contract and other expenses in foreign currency including intercompany expenses. Hedge effectiveness is assessed monthly by analyzing the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, based on their sensitivity and on the hedge ratio, and by performing a dollar-offset test. The hedge ratio is based on the notional amount of the hedging instrument and the amount of the forecasted hedged transactions. Derivatives are generally rolled over monthly. Futures are settled in accordance with the specific maturity of each contract. The hedged transactions are expected to occur in the same fiscal month as the maturity date of the hedging instrument. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness are performed by verifying and documenting whether the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted hedged transaction have changed during the period under review and whether the forecast transaction remains probable. If there are no such changes in critical terms, the Group will continue to conclude that the hedging relationship is effective. Sources of ineffectiveness are differences in the amount and timing of forecast and actual payment of expenses.

The notional amounts of the foreign currency exchange rate contracts are designated to match the amount of the forecasted foreign currency expenses being hedged. No hedging relationships were discontinued during the period and no forecasted transactions previously designated have ceased to be expected to occur.

The table below shows the change in the hedge of foreign currency risk:

  Nine-month period ended
  09/30/2026   09/30/2025
       
Balance at beginning of the period  (8,092)   11,721

b) Hedge of corporate and social security taxes over share-based compensation

The Group's hedge strategy is to cover the future cash disbursements related to highly probable future transactions and accrued liabilities for corporate and social security taxes at RSU vesting arising from the variation in the Company's share price volatility. The derivatives used to cover the exposure are total return swaps ("TRS") in which one leg is indexed to the Company's stock price and the other leg is indexed to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a spread. The stock fixed in the TRS is the weighted average price. The hedge was entered into by Nu Holdings and therefore there is no income tax effect.

The Group applies the cash flow hedge for the hedge structure, and therefore the market risk is replaced by interest rate risk. The effectiveness assessment is performed monthly by (i) assessing the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; (ii) maintaining and updating the hedging ratio. Given the possibility of forfeiture impacting the future cash forecast of the employee benefit plan, the Group manages exposures to keep the hedging level within an acceptable coverage range. The derivative fair value is measured substantially based on the stock price which is also used in the measurement of the provision or payment of corporate and social security taxes. The Group does not expect a mismatch between the hedged item and hedging instrument at maturity other than the SOFR.

The notional amount of the equity leg of the total return swaps is designated to match the share-based compensation amount expected to vest. Sources of ineffectiveness include changes in forfeiture assumptions affecting the volume of expected vesting, the SOFR leg of the TRS, and timing differences between TRS settlement dates and the cash disbursement of corporate and social security taxes. No hedging relationships were discontinued during the period and no forecasted transactions previously designated have ceased to be expected to occur.

The table below shows the change in the hedge of corporate and social security taxes over share-based compensation:

  Nine-month period ended
  09/30/2026   09/30/2025
       
Balance at beginning of the period 4,016   11,029
Fair value change recognized in OCI during the period (16,205)   21,667

to "General and administrative expenses" 21,995   (26,108)
to "Marketing expenses" 88   (852)
Balance at end of the period 10,331   6,383

No hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in the statement of income for periods presented. No balances remain in the cash flow hedge reserve from hedging relationships for which hedge accounting is no longer applied.

Designated as fair value hedge

a) Hedge of interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its portfolio of certain fixed-rate and inflation-indexed government bonds classified as securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and at amortized cost. To manage changes in the fair value of these bonds arising from market interest rate movements, the Group enters into interest rate swaps and interest rate futures contracts. Interest rate swaps ("IRS") convert the fixed returns of the bonds into floating rates, aligning the yield profile of the securities with the Group's risk management strategy. Interest rate futures are used to offset changes in the fair value of the bonds arising from movements in market interest rates.

The Group applies fair value hedge accounting to these government bonds. Under this strategy, the carrying amount of the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the interest rate risk (nominal interest rate for fixed-rate bonds and real interest rate for inflation-indexed bonds), with the gain or loss recognized in the statements of income, where it offsets the fair value movements of the hedging instruments (interest rate swaps and futures).

Hedge effectiveness is assessed periodically. The Group compares the cumulative changes in the fair value of hedging instruments (interest rate swaps and futures) with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the government bonds attributable to the hedged risk, and performs a prospective assessment based on the sensitivity of the hedged items and the hedging instruments to interest rate movements. For interest rate swaps, the Group also ensures that the critical terms of the hedging instruments and the hedged items (such as notional amounts, maturity dates, and payment frequencies) are closely aligned. Subsequent assessments of effectiveness are performed to verify that the hedging relationship remains effective throughout its duration.

The main sources of ineffectiveness are: (i) basis risk; (ii) differences in interest rate curves; and (iii) potential timing differences in the settlement of the instruments. There were no other significant sources of ineffectiveness in these hedging relationships. The ineffective portion, when existent, is recognized immediately in the statements of income, within "Interest income and gains net of losses – financial instruments at fair value" (note 6). No material hedging relationships in this category were discontinued during the period.

The notional amount of the interest rate swaps is designated to match the principal amount of the government bonds being hedged. The interest rate futures are designated in quantities that offset the interest rate sensitivity of the hedged government bonds. The hedged interest rate component has historically represented substantially all of the fair value changes of the bonds attributable to the hedged risk, as credit risk is excluded from the hedged risk.

The aggregate positions and effectiveness indicators of the fair value hedge of interest rate risk are shown in the tables below.

Designated as net investment hedge

a) Hedge of net investment in foreign operations

The Group applies hedge accounting to the net investment in a foreign operation in Brazil for changes in spot exchange rates. Hedging is undertaken for the Group's structural exposure to changes in the U.S. dollar to Brazilian real exchange rate using NDFs. An economic relationship exists between the hedged net investment and the hedging instrument due to the shared foreign currency risk exposure. The hedged risk component is the change in the spot USD/BRL exchange rate. The effective portion of gains and losses on the hedging instrument, assessed through a cumulative ratio analysis and limited by the lower-of test, is recognized in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognized in the statements of income.

Sources of hedge ineffectiveness in net investment hedging relationships may include: (i) mismatches between the notional amount of the designated hedging instrument and the carrying amount of the designated layer of the net investment, including those arising from post-designation changes in the net assets of the foreign operation such as retained earnings movements; and (ii) differences between the NDF contract maturity and the hedging designation period, including effects arising from the rollover of hedging instruments across reporting periods. The forward element of the NDF contracts is excluded from the designated hedge relationship and accounted for separately under the cost of hedging approach.

A bottom layer of US$1,707,584 of the Group's net investment in its Brazilian operations was designated as the hedged item. No hedging relationships in this category were discontinued during the period.

The aggregate positions at the reporting date and the performance indicators are summarized below.

On September 30, 2026 the Group had US$1,004,997 (US$783,837 as of December 31, 2025) in repurchase agreements primarily using government bonds as collateral. These agreements are mainly executed with overnight maturities, although some instruments have short-term maturities (up to 3 months). The average fixed rate is 20.1% per year as of September 30, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025 the average fixed rate was 14.4% per year) and the government bonds that were pledged as collateral were classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, as shown in note 12. As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of the securities pledged to repurchase agreements was US$1,012,128 (US$747,531 as of December 31, 2025). As of December 31, 2025, the Group used other receivables (note 16) as underlying collateral in repurchase agreement operations. The total collateral amounted to US$95,558 (US$0 as of September 30, 2026).

RDBs are investment products available within NuAccount offering either daily liquidity or fixed future maturity options. Deposits in RDB are guaranteed under limits from the Brazilian Credit Guarantee Fund (“FGC”). Unlike the deposits from customers, Nu is required to follow the compulsory deposits requirements for RDB deposits (see note 15). However, there is no obligation to invest the remaining balance in government securities or to hold it in a specific account at the Central Bank of Brazil. As such, these amounts can be used as a financing source for loan and credit card operations.

Deposits from customers refer to NuAccount, which is a prepaid account available in Brazil and Colombia, and a bank account available in Mexico, in which customers can deposit funds and invest in specific products, such as RDBs in Brazil.

In Brazil, the amounts deposited by customers are classified as electronic money and must be allocated to government securities (see note 12b) or in a specific account maintained at the Central Bank of Brazil (see note 15), in accordance with Brazilian regulatory requirements. In Colombia, NuAccount balances are required to have a percentage of the deposits from the public in an account with the Colombian Central Bank, which is a class of compulsory deposits. The interest paid on NuAccount in Colombia ranged from 9.3% to 9.8% per year as of September 30, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025, the interest paid ranged from 8.3% to 8.8% per year).

In Mexico, NuAccount balances are required to have a percentage of the deposits from the public deposited in an account with the Central Bank of Mexico, as a form of compulsory deposits. The balances deposited in "Cajitas" yield from 6.5% to 13.0% per year as of September 30, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025, the balances yielded from 7.3% to 15.0% per year). "Cajitas" has daily yield accrual and can have daily liquidity or defined future maturity.

The interest paid on both NuAccount and RDB deposits (except fixed term RDBs) is 100% of the Brazilian CDI rate as of the initial date if the balances are kept for more than 30 days. There are also RDBs with a defined future maturity date, which have a maturity of up to 41 months (27 months as of December 31, 2025) and a weighted average interest rate of 103% of the Brazilian CDI rate as of September 30, 2026 (as of December 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate was 104% of the Brazilian CDI rate).

The Bank certificate of deposit (CDB) is issued by Nu Financeira and primarily distributed by Nu Investimentos.

Interbank deposits refer mainly to wholesale time deposits from another financial institution, entered into as part of a treasury strategy to hedge the mark-to-market variability of sovereign notes posted as collateral on margin loans.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising from time to time in the ordinary course of operations, involving civil, tax and labor claims. Such claims are being addressed at both the administrative and judicial levels, and when applicable, are supported by judicial deposits. For these cases, there is significant uncertainty relating to the timing of any cash outflows, if any, for civil and labor risk. In addition, lawsuits and proceedings are classified by management, based on the opinion of internal and external legal counsel, as probable, possible or remote, considering the nature and complexity of each case, the current stage of proceedings, case law, and past loss experience. Provisions are recognized for claims classified as probable losses (note 25a). Claims classified as possible losses are not provisioned but are disclosed (note 25c), and claims classified as remote are neither provisioned nor disclosed.

a) Provision

Civil lawsuits are mainly related to NuAccount operations. Based on management’s assessment and inputs from Nu’s external legal counsel, the Group has provisioned US$29,155 (US$22,044 on December 31, 2025). These provisions are considered sufficient to cover the estimated losses classified as probable.

Deferred revenue from rewards program 89,481   76,291
Other deferred income 739   1,230
Total 90,220   77,521

Deferred revenue from rewards program relates to the Group's rewards programs for its credit card customers, specifically the "Nubank Croma" and "Ultravioleta". Under these programs, members earn points according to the use of the credit card, that can be redeemed for cashback or converted into airline miles. The points do not expire and there is no cap on the number of points an eligible card holder can earn.

Nu uses financial models to estimate the redemption rates of rewards earned to date by current card members, and, therefore, the estimated financial value of the points, based on historical redemption trends and current enrollee redemption behavior, among others. The estimated financial value is recorded in the statements of income when the performance obligation is satisfied (that is, at the time the reward points are redeemed).

28. RELATED PARTIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Group issues credit cards or loans to Nu’s executive directors, board members, key employees, and close family members. Those transactions, along with deposits and other products, such as investments, are conducted on similar terms as those offered to unrelated third parties under similar circumstances and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability.

As described in note 3, Basis of Consolidation, all entities within the Group are consolidated in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, related party balances and transactions, as well as unrealized gains or losses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

29. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The main valuation techniques employed in internal models to measure the fair value of the financial instruments as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are set out below. The principal inputs into these models are derived from observable market data. The Group did not make any material changes to its valuation techniques and internal models in the periods presented.

a) Fair value of financial instruments carried at amortized cost

The following tables show the fair value of the financial instruments carried at amortized cost as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Group has not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments such as compulsory and other deposits at central banks, other receivables, other financial assets at amortized cost, deposits from customers, RDB, interbank deposits, payables to clearing houses and repurchase agreements, as the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The valuation approach to specific categories of financial instruments is described below.

i) Fair value models and inputs

Credit card receivables and payables to network: The fair values of credit card receivables and payables to credit card network are calculated using the discounted cash flow method. Fair values are determined by discounting the contractual cash flows by the interest rate curve and credit spread. For payables, cash flows are also discounted by the Group's own credit spread.

Loans to customers: Fair value is estimated based on groups of customers with similar risk profiles, using valuation models. The fair value of a loan is determined by discounting the contractual cash flows by the interest rate curve and a credit spread.

Securities: Comprise sovereign notes and bonds held to collect. The fair value is given by observed market prices, when available, or by discounting future cash flows using both the risk free interest rate curve for the respective settlement currency, and the CDS-built (Credit Default Swaps) credit spread for the respective sovereign entity that issued the note.

Bank certificate of deposit (CDB): Fair value is given by discounting future cash flows using risk free interest rate plus issuance observed spreads.

Borrowings and financing: Fair value is measured using the discounted cash flow method, with contractual cash flows discounted at the interest rate curve and a spread.

i) Fair value models and inputs

Securities and obligations for quotas of investment funds: Securities with high liquidity and quoted prices in the active markets are classified as Level 1. All government bonds and certain corporate bonds are included in Level 1 as these are traded in active markets. For Brazilian securities, fair values are based on prices published by the "Associação Brasileira das Entidades dos Mercados Financeiro e de Capitais" ("Anbima"). For United States, Mexico and Colombia bonds, fair values are based on prices published by Bloomberg, Valmer and Precia, respectively. Other corporate bonds and investment fund shares, for which fair values are calculated based on observable data, such as interest rates and interest rate curves are classified as Level 2. The investment funds that used contractual conditions as inputs that are not directly observable in the market are classified as Level 3. The debenture, issued by a company that has entered judicial reorganization, is classified as Level 3 because its market price is not directly observable under these circumstances.

Equity instruments: The fair value of the equity instruments is determined using contractual conditions as inputs that are not directly observable in the market, and therefore classified as Level 3.

Derivatives: Exchange-traded derivatives are classified as Level 1 with valuations based on market quotes. Derivatives traded on the Brazilian stock exchange are measured at fair value using the Brazilian securities exchange, “Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão” (“B3”), quotations. Swaps are valued by discounting future expected cash flows to present values using interest rate curves and are classified as Level 2. Total Return Swaps are also valued by discounting expected cash flows, with the particularity that the equity leg expected cash flow is based on the last observed price, following non-arbitrage principles. Call options and Warrants are valued using internal models with unobservable inputs and premises, and classified as Level 3.

ii) Sensitivity analysis for financial assets classified as Level 3

The fair value hierarchy classifies financial instruments as Level 3 when their valuation relies significantly on unobservable market inputs and internal models. As of September 30, 2026, the Level 3 portfolio measured at fair value incorporates significant unobservable inputs, including prepayment rates, expected recovery prices, and the implicit expected volatility of private equity instruments.

Significant changes in any of these unobservable inputs, in isolation, could result in a materially different fair value measurement. The table below presents the sensitivity analysis of these fair values under three distinct scenarios:

  Impact on Income
  Scenario 1   Scenario 2   Scenario 3
Prepayment rate (i) (2)   (11)   (782)
Price / expected recovery (ii) (55)   (1,374)   (2,747)
Expected volatility (iii) (583)   (13,628)   (24,013)
(i)For the senior quota of a specific credit rights investment fund (“FIDC”), the potential loss is calculated by decreasing the current prepayment rate by 1, 25, and 50 basis points (scenarios 1, 2, and 3, respectively).
(ii)For corporate bonds, the potential loss is based on the current asset price and expected recovery, applying shocks of 1, 25, and 50 percentage points to the expected recovery rate (scenarios 1, 2, and 3, respectively).
(iii)For warrants and options, the potential loss is evaluated by applying shocks of 1, 25, and 50 basis points to the implicit volatility of the private equity instruments (scenarios 1, 2, and 3, respectively).

30. INCOME TAX

Current and deferred taxes are determined for all transactions that have been recognized in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements using the provisions of the current tax laws. The current income tax expense or benefit represents the estimated taxes to be paid or refunded, respectively, for the current period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary tax differences and tax loss carryforward are expected to reverse.

The tax on the Group's pre-tax profit differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities. The following is a reconciliation of income tax expense to profit for the period, calculated by applying the combined Brazilian income tax rate of 42.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 (refer to item (ii)) and 40% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

b) Deferred income taxes

The following tables present significant components of the Group’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2026 and 2025, and the changes for both periods. The accounting records of deferred tax assets on income tax losses and/or social contribution loss carryforwards, as well as those arising from timing differences, are based on technical feasibility studies which consider the expected generation of future taxable income, considering the history of profitability for each subsidiary individually. The use of the deferred tax asset related to tax loss and negative basis of social contribution is limited to 30% of taxable profit per year for the Brazilian entities and there is no time limit to use it.

Other comprehensive income that may be subsequently reclassified to the statement of income relates to: (i) cash flow hedges that qualify as effective hedges; (ii) net investment hedges of the Group’s investment in its Brazilian operations; (iii) currency translation, which represents the cumulative gains and losses on the retranslation of the Group’s investments in foreign operations; and (iv) fair value changes on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. These amounts remain under this section until recognized in the consolidated statements of income. For cash flow hedges, this occurs when the hedged items affect the income statement. For net investment hedges and currency translation, it occurs on the disposal, or partial disposal, of the foreign operation. For financial assets at FVTOCI, it occurs when the assets are sold or otherwise derecognized.

The own credit reserve reflects the cumulative own credit gains and losses on financial liabilities designated at fair value. Amounts in the own credit reserve are not reclassified to the statement of income in future periods.

The accumulated balances are as follows:

  09/30/2026   12/31/2025
       
Cash flow hedge effects, net of deferred taxes (2,155)   (4,076)
Net investment hedge effects (151,049)   -
Currency translation on foreign entities 253,027   (196,018)
Changes in fair value - financial instruments at FVTOCI, net of deferred taxes 22,918   15,296
Own credit adjustment effects 498   498
Total 123,239   (184,300)

e) Share events

(i) Share repurchase program

On June 3, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$1.0 billion of its outstanding class A ordinary shares. The program is effective for a period of twelve months, beginning on June 4, 2026, and ending on June 3, 2027, unless earlier terminated, suspended, or completed. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, and the timing and amount of any repurchases depend on market conditions, the share price, liquidity, and other capital allocation opportunities.

Shares repurchased under the program are held in treasury and presented as a deduction within equity. No shares were canceled in connection with the share repurchase program.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 40,659,600 class A ordinary shares under the program for a total amount of US$500,393. As of September 30, 2026, US$499,607 remained available for repurchase under the program.

32. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS,
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, AND OTHER RISKS

a) Overview

The Group monitors risks that could materially impact strategic objectives or regulatory compliance. To efficiently manage and mitigate these risks, the risk management structure identifies and assesses the risks based on their potential impact on financial results, capital, liquidity, customer relationships, and reputation. This prioritization aims to ensure that the Group captures opportunities while mitigating threats to its strategic pillars.

b) Risk management structure

Risk Management is a fundamental pillar of the Group's strategic governance. The risk management framework is integrated across the entire Group with the objective of ensuring that risks are consistently identified, measured, mitigated, monitored, and reported. This continuous process is embedded in the Group’s culture and decision-making structures, aiming to minimize losses, maximize profitability, and reinforce the Group's core values.

The Group's risk management structure considers the size and complexity of its business, which allows tracking, monitoring, and control of the risks to which it is exposed. The risk management process is aligned with management guidelines, which, through committees and other internal meetings, define strategic objectives, including risk appetite. Conversely, the capital control and capital management units provide support through risk and capital monitoring and analysis processes.

The Group considers a Risk Appetite Statement (“RAS”) to be an essential instrument to support risk management and decision making. The Board of Directors reviews and approves the RAS, as guidelines and limits for the business plan and capital deployment. Nu has defined a RAS that prioritizes the main risks and, for each of those risks, qualitative statements and quantitative metrics expressed in relation to earnings, capital, risk measures, liquidity, and other relevant measures were implemented, as appropriate.

c) Risks actively monitored

Risks that are actively monitored by the Group include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, interest rate risk in the banking book (“IRRBB”), foreign exchange (“FX”), operational, IT and cyber, regulatory, compliance and anti-money laundering (“AML”), reputational risk, model risk and risk from cryptocurrency business. These risks are managed in accordance with the three-line model, considering policies and procedures in place, as well as the limits established in the RAS. Also, Nu has a Stress Testing program in place.

Each of the risks described below has its own methodologies, systems and processes for its identification, measurement, evaluation, monitoring, reporting, control, and mitigation.

In the case of financial risks, such as credit, liquidity, IRRBB and market, the measurement is undertaken based on quantitative models and, in certain cases, prospective scenarios in relation to the main variables involved, respecting the applicable regulatory requirements and best market practices. Non-financial risks, such as operational risk and technological/cyber risks, are measured using impact criteria (inherent risk), considering potential financial losses, reputational damage, customer perception, and legal/regulatory obligations, as well as evaluated in relation to the effectiveness of the respective structure of internal controls.

Credit commitments 39,511,616   28,841,327
(i)Unused limits are not recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position but are considered in the measurement of the ECL because such limits represent credit risk exposure.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is defined as:

•the ability of an entity to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, without incurring unacceptable losses; and
•the possibility of not being able to easily exit a financial position due to its size compared to the traded volume in the market.

The liquidity risk management structure uses future cash flow data, applying what the Company believes to be a severe stress scenario to these cash flows, to measure whether the volume of high-quality liquid assets that the Group holds is sufficient to ensure its financial resilience. The liquidity indicators are monitored daily, using procedures approved by Management, and compared with the approved limit structure, in accordance with the Group's declared risk tolerance.

Among the main liquidity indicators, Nu uses:

•Short-Term liquidity ratio: the Group uses an internal methodology which measures whether it holds sufficient high quality liquid assets to cover short term (unexpected) outflows in a severe stress scenario.
•Funding ratios and gaps: to ensure long term balance sheet stability, the Group establishes conservative limits for the ratios and cumulative gaps (the value difference) between assets and liabilities in all future maturity buckets, using expected behavioral maturities, calculated with historical internal data.

The Group has a detailed Contingency Funding Plan for each entity, outlining the monitoring procedures, the triggers and management actions that must be taken in response to a deterioration of the liquidity indicators.

The unused limit of credit cards is the pre-approved limit that has not yet been used by the customer and represents the current maximum potential credit exposure. Therefore, it does not represent the real need for liquidity arising from commitments. When customers reach their limits, the expected duration of the credit card receivables is shorter than the duration of the payables to network.

In view of the asset allocation profile presented above, the Group establishes a funding plan with the aim of maintaining a healthy financial position in the short and long term. The main source of funding is the deposit franchise (Deposits from customers and Bank receipt of deposits), which the Group aims to match with a liquidity cushion on the asset side. Securities are mainly composed of Government Bonds, which may have longer maturities, as demonstrated in the table above, but are traded in a market that has historically had high liquidity.

Additionally, despite being contractually redeemable in the short term, the Group considers deposits balance to be a growing financing instrument, used alongside other debt issuances to guarantee a proper mix of funding sources.

The Group monitors and utilizes this information as part of its mechanism for managing liquidity risk.

Market risk and IRRBB

The table below presents the Value at Risk (“VaR”) calculated using a confidence level of 99% and a holding period of 10 days. The calculation is performed using a filtered historical simulation approach, based on a 5-year historical window. For Brazil, VaR is calculated only for the trading book, while in Mexico it is presented for the Available for Sale portfolio, in line with regulation and portfolio management strategies.

Expenses in other currencies (US$ and EUR) are hedged within a hedge accounting framework, but other economic hedge relationships exist and are governed by an FX residual exposure framework within the market risk management structure. A non-exhaustive list comprises loans, bonds, cash accounts, and time deposits in other currencies than the functional currency of each entity, and the total exposure is always kept within the tolerance level defined by the Group in this regard.

As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, none of the Group’s entities had significant unhedged FX exposures in currencies other than their respective functional currencies.

33. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The purpose of capital management is to maintain the capital adequacy for Nu's operation through control and monitoring of the capital position, to evaluate the capital necessity according to the risk appetite and strategic aim of the organization, and to establish a capital planning process. Accordingly, future requirements of regulatory capital are assessed based on the Group's growth projections, risk exposure, market movements, and other relevant information. Also, the capital management structure is responsible for identifying sources of capital, writing and submitting the capital plan and the capital contingency plan for approval by the Executive Directors.

Regulatory Capital Composition

The Company is not subject to specific regulatory capital requirements; however, the regulated subsidiaries in each country must comply with local rules. The capital adequacy of the regulated subsidiaries is detailed below.

a) Nu Prudential Conglomerate in Brazil

Central Bank of Brazil (“BACEN”) defines a prudential conglomerate as a set of entities in which one regulated entity controls other regulated companies or investment funds. A conglomerate is classified as Type 3 when the lead entity — the one at the top of the ownership structure — is a Payment Institution, as is the case for Nu Pagamentos.

The regulatory capital of the prudential conglomerate, defined by Brazil's Central Bank, consists of three key components:

•Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital: Consisting of paid-in capital, reserves, and retained earnings, after accounting for deductions and prudential adjustments.
•Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Capital: This includes debt instruments that have no specific maturity and can absorb losses, meeting the eligibility criteria set out by the Central Bank. The sum of CET1 and AT1 forms the overall Tier 1 Capital.
•Tier II Capital: This involves subordinated debt instruments with set maturity dates that meet eligibility requirements.

As a Type 3 prudential conglomerate, Nu Pagamentos is subject to the capital adequacy requirements established by the BACEN on a consolidated basis. The Group is in full compliance with all applicable prudential capital rules.

b) Nubank Mexico

As of September 30, 2026, regulatory capital was US$351,067 (US$402,002 as of December 31, 2025). This translated into a Capital ratio of 16.4% (15.4% as of December 31, 2025), above the 10.5% minimum required for multiple banks and for Category 4 Sociedades Financieras Populares ("SOFIPO").

c) Nu Colombia

As of September 30, 2026, regulatory capital was US$250,862 (US$131,965 as of December 31, 2025). This translated into a Capital ratio of 17.3% (16.9% as of December 31, 2025), above the 10.5% minimum required for credit institutions in Colombia.

34. SEGMENT INFORMATION

In reviewing the operational performance of the Group and allocating resources, the Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Group (“CODM”), who is the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The CODM considers the whole Group as a single operating and reportable segment, monitoring operations, making decisions on fund allocation, and evaluating performance. The CODM reviews relevant financial data on a combined basis for all subsidiaries.

The Group’s income, results, and assets for this one reportable segment can be determined by reference to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as well as the consolidated statements of financial position.

35. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

a) Grant of Restricted Shares

On October 15, 2026, the Group granted 13,577,733 Restricted Class A Shares (“Restricted Shares”) to its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") under the Nu Holdings Ltd. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended. The award has an estimated grant-date fair value of approximately US$200 million and vests over 10 calendar years, with final vesting on January 1, 2036, granted in lieu of regular annual equity awards from 2027 through 2031. The related expense will be recognized as share-based compensation over the vesting period. Restricted Shares remain subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions until vested, and voting and dividend rights are waived during that period.

In addition, 2,719,316 previously outstanding RSUs were replaced by an equal number of Restricted Shares with the same vesting schedule, resulting in no incremental fair value. The related unrecognized expense continues to be recognized over the original vesting period.

These events occurred after the reporting date and are non-adjusting events. Accordingly, no amounts were recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2026.
